Yellowstone returns to Paramount Network next month for the second half of its fifth season, and the network is giving viewers a look at what’s ahead for the drama series.
A new trailer and behind-the-scenes featurette have both been released. Surprisingly, the trailer features Kevin Costner as John Dutton, even though Costner has exited the series.
Costner, Cole Hauser, Kelly Reilly, Luke Grimes, Wes Bentley, Kelsey Asbille, Brecken Merrill, Forrie Smith, Denim Richards, Ian Bohen, Finn Little, Ryan Bingham, Gil Birmingham, Mo Brings Plenty, Wendy Moniz, Jen Landon, and Kathryn Kelly star in the series from Taylor Sheridan. Yellowstone follows the Dutton family as they run the largest contiguous cattle ranch in the United States.
Paramount Network’s description of the upcoming episodes may give a clue of how Costner will be written out. The channel teased that running the ranch is not easy “amid shifting alliances, unsolved murders, open wounds, and hard-earned respect – the ranch is in constant conflict with those it borders – an expanding town, an Indian reservation, and America’s first national park.”
Even though it was announced that season five is the end for the show, Yellowstone may still be renewed for a sixth season. Those talks are said to be still ongoing.
The new trailer and a behind-the-scenes feature are below.
What do you think? Are you excited about Yellowstone’s return? Do you hope the series is renewed for a sixth season?
I enjoyed Yellowstone tremendously. I do hope it continues for another season.
THE SHOW IS CALLED “YELLOWSTONE” NOT “KOSTNER”. LET HIM GO AND MOVE ON. THE REMAINING CAST DESERVES AN OPPORTUNITY TO KEEP WORKING
P.S. I guess you can not say the F word on this site.
******* A, Damocles! I agree. Paramount and CBS are the same company. Do not think for ten seconds they care about anything but money.
Are Paramount taking fans for granted? Treating them as mugs? Thinking they are dumb couch potatoes who will accept anything they deign to throw their way? They aren’t, you know. Fans are useful, thinking, living, breathing, caring, working, child rearing, granny caring, parts of circles of friends and relations and they do not like people trying to pull the wool over their eyes.
Excited? More like disgusted. Either Paramount is practising deception, or they are using Costner to sell their product without paying him for his services, or they are relying on an expired contract to use him for promotion hoping it will pass the reasonable man test or they have an agreement with him which they are keeping secret. Whatever it is, it has a bad odour and explanations are required.
